Good for the FR class of '98 to get together sometimes.
As regards Romney, as an LDS myself, I will only vote for him as a candidate of last resort. His former positions, and relatively recent "conversion" to more conservative principles are a little too convienent for me. He needs a lot more time proving that what he is saying now is really what he believes.
Having said that, at least he is saying the right things by and large, and if he was the nominee, I would vote for him to beat Obama rather than not vote or go 3rd party and hand it to Obama. I will noot do anything to make it easier for that abject marxist, who is actively destroying this republic.
In the meant time, lets work and hope that one of the more conservative candidates (Santorum, Perry, or Newt) can become the single conservative candidate and calese the conservative vote and beat him so we do not have to make that choice.
...aslo, as I am sure you are aware, watch out for incoming on you comments, I have no doubt you will receive it, claiming all sorts of things about your person because you would say it, LOL! But we've seen worse on these boards.
Take care my FRiend, and God's speed.
Mind our knot.
For the record, I consider Romney the political man and what I percieve as attacks on Mormon ism as separate and distinct topics.
I was a Cain Man and wrote an essay comparing the Texan Perry with the Yankee Romney. I was not a Perry guy but the gubernatorial contrast was interesting. I oppose Mitt for being governor of Massachusetts and a North East Yankee. Either or both are adequate for his disqualification in my view.
I have pretty much decided to support Newt, but if the past indicates the present, the issue will pretty much be decided by the time we have our primary in Tennessee.
As a long time Freeper I am saddened by what I percieve as the use of Free republic to attack a religious body of what are good American citizens. The anti Mormon group of course deny it and throw up technical defense grounds that may or may not be accurate. I fear the perception by others will cast FRee Republic in a bad light. We need to attract people, not drive them away
Thanks for your sound counsel
